Isabel Guerra
According to Dubai Ports (DP) World, the construction of Muelle Sur container terminal in Peru's busiest port of Callao is now 46% complete, and will be ready to start operations in April or May next year.
Once operations start, Peru will be able to handle 2 millions of additional containers per year, and the traffic of Callao port will increase by 60% or 70%.
This improvement will also allow Callao port to receive bigger ships.
Bottger noted that DP World has not informed about the fees it will charge for its services, but it is expected that they would be 28% and 29% lower than the ones they charge in San Antonio port (Chile.)
DP World, a leader in international marine terminal operations and development, is authorized to build and operate Muelle Sur Terminal facilities at the port of Callao.

Peru: Lima Airport to reach Category III in 2010 with fog assist landing
LivinginPeru.com
Isabel Guerra
The Lima's international airport “Jorge Chávez” might reach Category III next year, since it will have a fog assist landing system (ILS CAT-III) enabled, according to Peru's Transports Minister, Enrique Cornejo.
He said that this improvement will require an investment of US $4.5 millions, but this will avoid the delaying of flights and all the issues related to this situation.
“This system includes meteorological components and lightning aids so that planes can land even under zero visibility conditions,” he remarked.
Cornejo said that the implementation of this system might take some 10 months, so it could be ready to operate in May 2010, and that will be financed 100% with Corpac's own resources.

Peru: Fujimori accepts charges during his trial
LivinginPeru.com
Isabel Guerra
Avelino Guillén, the prosecutor in Alberto Fujimori's trial (on the illegal payment to Vladimiro Montesinos of US $15 million dollars as a “compensation for services”) said he was surprised to see that defendant admitted "with complete naturality” the charges.
"I never thought he would admit that,” he said, remarking his belief that this attitude shows the passiveness and tolerance of large Peruvian society's sectors to corruption.
"I'm impressed. This is the first time in the country's history that a former president accepts having committed a crime of corruption ... a carefully planned one, involving a group of operators and authorities to seize funds, " Guillén said.
Fujimori, who will turn 71 this month, will speak in his own defense, and the court could issue its verdict on Monday.

Cusco, the Peruvian main touristic destination, was voted as the world's 16th most popular international destination, according to an online poll conducted by Travel+Leisure magazine.
Some cities like Barcelona, London and even Paris did not reach the list of 20 top cities.
However, the indian city Udiapur led this year's list, while 2008's winner Bangkok dropped to the third place, probably due to the problems they reportedly had last year with their airport.
The magazine, which conducted its poll between January-March 2009, is also running a rating of the world's best hotels, top islands and top large-ship cruise lines.
The winners wil be honored next week in a ceremony to be held in New York.

From today, the temperatures will drop even more in Peru southern highlands, reports the National Meteorology Service (Senamhi).
The more affected regions will be Puno, Huancavelica, Ayacucho and Cusco, whose minimun temperatures are likely to drop to -9 degrees Celsius.
"The area has remained at -3 ° C and -4 ° C, these days, but due to a sudden drop in humidity levels, the averages will drop,” explained Teresa Garcia, a Senamhi expert, adding that in the case of Cuzco “temperatures will remain positive turning around the zero and 0.5 degrees."
Since rain and snow are expected in the highlands, Senamhi encourages the drivers to check on the conditions of their vehicles, especially on the tires, and to be aware of the weather alerts issued by local radio stations.
